Game 5: Warriors at Sacramento (halftime)

* Andris Biedrins played through a sore lower back, giving the Warriors their first repeating starting lineup of the season. He had five rebounds and finished a nice entry pass from Stephen Jackson, but the Warriors were still outrebounded 27-19.

* The Kings have eight offensive rebounds and have converted 18 second-chance points. They have 32 points in the paint, many coming from Jason Thompson, who is 5-of-8 for 14 points.

* Stephen Curry didn’t get his name on the offensive stat sheet until he made a three-pointer in the closing minute of the half. He ended the frame with three points, one rebound, zero assists and three turnovers.

* The Warriors didn’t find an answer for Tyreke Evans until late in the half. He scored only two points against Stephen Jackson, but the damage had already been done. Evans had 20 points, six rebounds and an assist while being guarded by either Monta Ellis or Curry.
